Thank you Angie and Mags both! I am hopeful as like I said, his character hasn't been off at all, he's not been acting ill - just the litter tray itself that isnt so nice! But if not tonight then hopefully tomorrow morning we'll be back to normal! Like I said, they're normally both regular as clock work so it's easy to tell when something's not right. |

P.S. He jumped up on the couch behind me and started eating my hair last night - something he only does when he's in the highest of spirits! So like I said, it's looking hopeful! |

I'm at work at the moment, will be home in about an hour and will find out! No poo last night or this morning at all, which I take to be a good sign as it means the diarreah has stopped. Up until yesterday evening there were wee bits here and there being left in the tray, and yesterday morning there was a normal size, but soft poo. So I'm hoping I'll go home to find an almost normal, or completely, normal poo! If not then, then tomorrow morning. Will keep you posted! |

Before I joined this forum I never would have believed I'd be so obsessed with the poo watch!!! |

 I don't know if that's a good thing DH; apologies! My OH is obviously concerned but I was the one who discovered the first, really, really bad bout of it and since he found out about it he's avoided the litter tray at all costs  So it's good to have somewhere I can talk about my poo-watch without watching the person go green!Hopefully by tonight or tomorrow we won't need to think about poo watch for quite some time  |

Update: No poo this morning or last night  So that makes a day and a half of no poo at all. I did kind of expect this to happen, as he has kind of flushed out his system and it's probably just getting back into synch. But if there's none tonight I'll consider taking him to the vets. I've been told by the CP that the vets really stress these two out, and it took four people to hold Minsky down to get his jabs. So I am avoiding the vet until the situation really seems to call for it; and right now, to me, it makes sense that his system is getting back to normal after a bout of diarreah and there may be a few days without a poo at all. Fingers crossed for tonight though! I do remember Elaine's thread on Eva's lack of poo; I waited with baited breath every day until she finally got one! |

Update: I just called the vet for advice and to potentially make an appoint. I explained the situation and she said it's normal for a cat to go 5 - 7 days without a bowel movement after a bout of diarreah, as the diarreah comes from very high up and it can take a while for a normal poo to build up. It's only been 2 days since Darcy passed a normal size, soft poo. I asked if I should bring him in tonight and she said if he seemed perfectly happy, was still eating normally, hadn't been sick, and wasn't straining over the litter tray to leave it till Monday. If he produces nothing by then, to bring him in. He hasn't strained at all over litter tray, is eating happily, still his normal self, and I was thinking that after a bout of diarreah it could take a few days to pass anything else. I was worried this morning when there was nothing in the tray, and am still concerned but the vet really did sound like she'd heard of this situation a lot before; and even said her cats have had a similar problem and she just kept a close eye on them and eventually they passed a normal poo! She also suggested buying liquid parafin from the pharmacist and giving him a teaspoon which might speed the process up a bit I've never heard of this before and did query it but she assured me it's normal practice. I may just leave that out and wait till Monday and then take him to the vets. |

P.S. I won't be online till later this evening; I know I'm normally on throughout the day, and it would be unusual for me not to reply. I just don't want anyone to think I'm ignoring the responses! |
